Game Day -- Terriers & Buckeyes in Manchester

The week between the Terrier's win in the Hockey East finals and their first NCAA game seemed to take forever, but it has finally arrived. BU plays Ohio State, a CCHA team it has matched up with just twice before, in the Northeast Regional in Manchester, N.H., with a scheduled 5:30 p.m. start.

Regional action got underway in the East and West with upsets dominating the action. Air Force withstood 43 shots to blank Michigan, Vermont eliminated ECAC champ Yale and Miami dispatched Denver. A fourth upset (that is, a lower seed winning) was just 40 seconds away when Minnesota-Duluth scored twice--including a goal with 1 second left in regulation--to tie Princeton and then went on to win in overtime.
